Wrecked my new pike rt3 stanchions on Saturday in a pretty spectacular crash, only used them for about 5 rides so is worth buying new stanchions and getting them fitted by a lbs or a buy new full set?
If so any deals around?
Cheers
If you have the part number take a look at Petra Cycles website for Rockshox spares. I reckon the stanchion assembly is going to be around £200 though...
Solo Air or Dual Position? 26 or 29?
All are in stock with Fishers, all are (wait for it) £329, if you've got the variant I can give you the part number.
May be cheaper elsewhere, but that's retail.
Just had a quick look and the crown assembly is retailing for around $350 (can't locate any in the UK so far) so you're definitely better off going for a new fork if the stanchions really are trashed.
That's expensive but still cheaper than new forks. I suppose the question is whether the other bits have any value- maybe someone'd buy the dampers for a set of Lyriks or Boxxers?
I've just spoke to loco, going to drop them in to see if they're worth repairing
Is it not cheaper buying those RC Pikes from the French mob for 310 quid,change out the RCT3 damper
Yeah, i'd say RC from the frogs and change the inners over would be your best bet, then get the lowers on ebay to recover £100 or so.
Would the RC and air spring drop into a Lyrik fork? If so you could probably get £150 or so for that maybe?
I'd not thought of that, could be the plan. Cheers
(profiteering from other people's misfortunes) if you were to happen to get a 26 inch, 160mm dpa fork, I'd be interested in taking the spring off your hands 😉
Can I use the bits off a 26"?
I've got 150mm 650b 15mm solo air.
Which store is the French one?

Tenner delivery and took less than a week...
Great, thanks for that.
therag, if you have charger damper from your old pike for sale, send me email. Thanks
Have you spoken to a LBS? May be worth seeing if there is a crash replacement price? Unless you bought it online in which case they probably won't be up for doing any favours.
You need to buy a 650B Pike fork for the correct CSU. 26" and 650b have different part numbers.
